When you think of the characteristic we humans define as “Resiliency”, or our ability to not stress, bounce back, keep our cool, get knocked down and get back up again…. I’d bet the very last biological system that comes to mind is the trillions of non-self organisms which dwell in the smelly confines of your […]

It’s rather interesting how many similarities there are between our cellular society living within and the actually society we associate and interact with each day. For example, they both are chaotically organized in a beautiful way which keeps their world progressing, they both sleep and rejuvenate at night, and surprisingly they both seem to quite […]

The more I learn about the inner workings of our biology, the more amazed (and thankful) I become that ALL this happens without us humans needing to think twice about it. Because quite frankly, if we did, I think you’d agree, we likely wouldn’t be here. Instead, nature has left us intelligent walking apes with […]

It is no secret anymore that the trillions of micro-organisims living within our intestinal tubing have quite an impact on our biological function. So much so, that without them, we would NOT be able to operate – cellularly – at our true potential. That being said, having trillions of “Non-Self” entities living within while also […]

You need to look no further than our favorite topic of circadian rhythms to realize that “Light” plays a sizable role in coordinating what goes on with our biology and when. As a growing body of evidence has displayed that when special photoreceptors in our eyes pick-up on certain spectrums, like blue light, signals are […]

You ever wonder what your world would be like if it didn’t have a finely tuned sanitation system picking up your waste multiple days a week? Let’s just say, it’d be a bit messier…. and smellier! There’s also a good chance that the amazing metropolis cities that we’ve built would deteriorate into pure chaos within […]

We all know that when it comes to feeling good, Nutrition is important. Explaining why the majority of people in this modern ultra-processed world walk around feeling the exact opposite of it. And thanks to modern science, we now know that this under-nutrition goes much deeper than energy-in and energy-out. In fact, most of us […]

We know that there is a growing list of sub optimal biological effects associated with too much added sugar, or the modern way of eating for the majority of the population. We also know, almost all of them are rooted in inducing dysfunction within the most primal part of our cellular machinery. The part responsible […]

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again…. There’s a reason that we primates – and basically ALL categories of animals – evolved for millions of years developing vastly different features yet keeping this one universal need. A need that makes the organism quite vulnerable to threats for a lengthy duration of time each […]

When it comes to systemic positive change throughout the body, there seems to be ONE intervention to rule them ALL! And no, you can’t find it at your local pharmacy, unless you jog there and back, of course. This powerful, full-body, health & vitality drug is Exercise. Something that we’ve been doing since the beginning […]

Here’s the thing about your Gut Bacteria… Although they play a critical role in the overall function of your pretty cool meat suit, producing essential metabolites and compounds which optimize the function of your many organ systems within, they’re not here to help you. They’re here to USE you…. As a host. They are a […]

When most people think of “brushing and flossing” they visualize a chore, something they have to do or their dentist will scold them and drill on that bi-yearly visit. However, I can’t help but wonder, if the explanation for why oral hygiene is so important was explained in the broader sense of ones health, if […]

When it comes to the health and wellbeing of our pretty cool meat suit, it is likely the exception rather than the rule that dysfunction which occurs in one system, stays local without effecting any other system. The simple explanation for this is the obvious fact that we are actually ONE ever-connected biological entity. A […]

You ever wonder why almost every tv-show, movie and book telling a story based on a period hundreds to thousands of years in the past, has sipping wine and plotting revenge as its two most common features…? And yes, it undoubtedly makes for great dramatic entertainment, but there’s also likely some truth hidden in-between the […]

Despite almost never thinking about it, there is ALOT going on inside you every single second of every single day. And I mean ALOT…. Stuff that allows you and me to not only read and write this, but also do everything else we do. For example, at this very moment there are trillions of mitochondria […]
